From Library Journal
Our hero, Trueman Rock, returns to the town of Wagontongue after killing a man and an absence of six years. Many things are different, and as he walks down the familiar streets, he notices many changes in buildings and people. This book was originally published in 1931, and it does not boast the complex story line of many of Grey's other works, but the author and narrator Lloyd James have a great ability to draw the listener into Rock's world as he encounters the vile Ash Preston, who is terrorizing Wagontongue and Sunset Pass with an elaborate cattle-rustling operation. In the midst of all of this, Rock falls in love with Thiry Preston, the innocent sister of the bad guy. One of the strong points of this tale is the shining sincerity with which Grey depicts the story of their love. This is a powerful novel of love and loyalty and the depth of our attachment to our homes. James is a fine reader, and this should appeal to everyone, even those who do not normally pick up Westerns. Enthusiastically recommended for all libraries. Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX
